The Decoy: Bailey’s Story

The Decoy: Bailey’s Story

In this special episode of Predators I’ve Caught, host Chris Hansen sits down with one of the most vital yet often unseen figures in the investigations—veteran decoy “Bailey.” Known by her alias during the sting operations, Bailey opens up about the emotional and psychological toll of posing as a vulnerable teenager to help catch online predators. She shares vivid memories from one of the most unforgettable stings: the takedown of Jeff Sokol, a predator whose smug attitude and infamous pizza dinner made headlines. With honesty and courage, Bailey walks us through the behind-the-scenes experience of that encounter—what she felt, what she feared, and why she kept coming back to do it again. It’s a rare, inside look at the bravery behind the bait—and the high-stakes reality of confronting evil face to face.
